I didn't know 'open source project shill' was an occupation. I'm feeling audacious, I'll bite.

You run three electron apps simultaneously and don't care, but your users are not running on heptacore 16GB RAM machines. They care, a hell of a lot.

Hell, even I with an heptacore and 16GB RAM care when Electron apps appropriate two full cores to render shit a CPU from 15 years ago could have done with native technologies.

I run the following browser-based apps, concurrently, every day:

Atom (electron), Discord (electron), Spotify (electron-like), App Store (webkit), Steam (webkit), Safari, Chrome.

I have all of these running, without a single problem. Performance is great. I don't need a "heptacore 16GB RAM machine" to do it - I run all of this on a 2016 Retina MacBook. The 8GB RAM, 1.2GHz dual core Intel M5, passively cooled ultrabook.

So, what was it you were saying again?

>Atom (electron)

50% CPU by staying idle.

>Discord (electron)

Does better, only uses one full core, 25% CPU!

> Spotify (electron-like)

Actually one that doesn't decide my cores belong to it, thankfully.

>webkit derivatives

Steam notwithstanding because only parts of it are webkit and is uses CEF, these are not wrappers around chrome repurposed.

It's almost as if you were running on the same hardware as these people develop it on and care about when they dirnk their lattes in a Starbucks.
